I'm sorry, but the one thing asap rocky lacks above all else that will hold him back from being an upper echelon rapper in this era IS the fact that he has NO charisma or relatability
Dude is such a product, pushing brands, aesthetics, and lifestyle. He's curated be a series of a&r's who shaped his sound, and by outside influences who shaped his fashion (nothing wrong with that)
All it amounts to is a dude with passable flow spitting over fantastic production. There is no true overarching narrative to his music. His personality is hidden behind regular cocky braggadocio. And it can be well done! He's got so,e great records. Tough records. Great bragging records. Some cool semi depressed cloud rap type stuff. Well done stuff.
But not charisma. He's empty. What others put into him has been what comes out. No relatability, no charisma. And I say that as a far from the first time I heard Pe$o, Uptown, and back to the future years ago
